I wonder if environment may have played a part in her choices at a subconscious level? (Or any of us for that matter). I love how the colour of the wall behind her is the perfect backdrop for her outfit.

Belissimo…or however its spelled. I love monochromatic dressing only I always end up looking weird or fat…she look awesome! I love how her skin tone is complimented by that wall in the background which goes with the upper part of the bag. Parfait!

i really love this. the colors are harmonious and pleasing and it looks as if any woman of any age could wear it, feel comfortable and have confidence that she doesn't look like a tool or a fashion victim.

the woman is beautiful and healthy. and those are the best gladiators i've ever seen.

Thank you Anon for telling us where to get those great sandals! Ubiquitous in Athens, two of the greatest sandal shops are the famous Pantelis Melissinos and Gesouras – http://www.ges-sandals.gr. Indeed, she looks chic, comfortable and beautiful! -SS, Portland OR

I think italians do that best (viz. Scott's remarks). i' m italian and i do nothing but criticizing my land and people etc..i guess you grow out of that…but anyway a little praise goes to this particular ability of being chic by means of very discrete (sartorial) details…

Thank you so much for coming to San Francisco! It was such a pleasure to meet you!I'm the Chloe who you said bye to over the intercom.Thank you for making my night! (And tell Garance I can't wait for her book!)

Her clothing is simple and casual but I bet it's all quality stuff. Especially that bag – to die for. Love the neutrals, short skirt under long but not bulky sweater, would love to see the necklace, like the shoes that fade into her feet, and she looks comfortable. Proportions are perfect.

You're spot-on about the outfit, but my favourite part of the shot is how the light doesn't just hit her, it illuminates her. It catches the chains on her bag and the colours in her hair and kind of wraps her in a glow that you can't get any other way. Perfect.

Yes! This is BEAUTY! Finally a picture of a beautiful women wearing sensible shoes ! Now I know, I am not the only fashionista who refuses to jump on the stiletto, crazy-high- platform bandwagon that seem to be made to make women uncomfortable and possibly break ankles as well.

The glasses are a nice accessory to the whole look, they add potential; a nice spark. The gray sweater look makes a charming touch. The necklace and watch are lovely too. The skirt is cute , great fitting and hot what is there left to say?? The shoes are like gladiators very comfy and elegant! Bravo! A+

Wow! I am totally in love with this portrait. Seeing a beautiful girl like this – her smile, the way she looks like such a nice person – is enough to make you happy all day. Her style is simply amazing too, but I think she makes the clothes special, rather than the other way around…Thank-you!
